Rock pipit
A common and stocky bird of our rocky coasts, the rock pipit can nearly always be seen close to the sea. It is a bit smaller than a starling.
Mountain hare
The mountain hare lives in the Scottish Highlands and the north of England. They are renowned for turning white in winter to match their upland surroundings.
Update on Wylfa
The North Wales Wildlife Trust, along with partners, have been engaging extensively for over 3 years to advocate for better protection measures for the natural environment from the impacts of the proposed Wylfa Newydd (Anglesey) nuclear power station on internationally designated sites, coastal waters and the freshwater environment.
Flat periwinkle
These little sea snails are found amongst the seaweed on rocky shores around much of the UK. They come in lots of different colours, from bright yellow to chequered brown!
